Unsurpassed for dry shade is Asarum canadense, Canadian ginger. The other
gingers prefer a sunnier situation and spread very slowly in shade so
unless you are a zillionaire I don't recommend them.

Re epimediums, there are several especially vigorous yellow forms. The red
is very vigorous also.

A number of ferns don't seem to mind dry shade, e.g. Christmas fern. Sweet
woodruff would do OK also. Wild geranium ... jacob's ladder ... lamiums
especially galeobdolon (yellow archangel) ... lysimachias of all kinds
from moneywort to gooseneck loosestrife will perform in deep shade.
